Proposition 36, a ballot measure that aims to toughen penalties for theft and take a harder line on drug crimes, particularly those involving fentanyl, has broad support across the Bay Area political spectrum, according to a new poll by the Bay Area News Group and Joint Venture Silicon Valley.
Seventy percent of respondents supported Proposition 36, while 20% opposed the measure, in a telephone poll of more than 1,650 registered voters of the five largest Bay Area counties — Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara. The remaining 10% said they were unsure about their position on the initiative.
